“…Despite increases in knowledge and confidence, however, the actual rates of inquiry following delivery of the program were not as high as anticipated (Baird et al, 2013). Midwives identified several significant barriers that have limited greater implementation of routine screening, suggesting that changes in practitioner knowledge and attitudes are only one part of the equation.The most widely documented barrier to greater screening was the presence of a partner during antenatal consultation, which prevented maternal care staff from being able to ask directly about IPV (Baird et al, 2013; Lazenbatt et al, 2006;Marchant, Davidson, Garcia, & Parsons, 2001;Salmon et al, 2006). In addition, an analysis of policies and practices in midwife trusts in England and Wales found that only 12% of the units studied had written policies for identifying IPV, and only 30% had any form of agreed practice in this area (Marchant et al, 2001).…”

“…The Bristol Pregnancy Domestic Violence training program for midwives is one example of a program that has been developed in response to such a need (Salmon, Murphy, Baird, & Price, 2006;Baird, Salmon, & White, 2013). An evaluation of the Bristol program found it to be successful in improving midwives' knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding routine antenatal enquiry for IPV (Salmon et al, 2013), and in a five-year follow-up, showed a statistically significant increase in midwives' self-reported confidence and knowledge about responding to disclosure compared to the original data (Baird et al, 2013). Despite increases in knowledge and confidence, however, the actual rates of inquiry following delivery of the program were not as high as anticipated (Baird et al, 2013).…”

“…In responding to known barriers, an earlier study by Marchant and colleagues (2001) recommended that, in addition to greater training and education, clear policies and guidelines focusing on the identification of IPV should be put in place in maternal care settings. Baird et al (2013) also emphasized these recommendations and noted that, in particular, such policies should ensure that a woman is seen alone at least once during her pregnancy to give her an opportunity for safe disclosure. …”

This narrative literature review examines the peer-reviewed research in English on the prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV) during the childbearing years, published between January 2000 and January 2015. It shows that in the 43 articles that were located there is a disproportionate emphasis on making females responsible for not becoming victims of IPV, especially if they are mothers, who are made responsible for ensuring not only their own but also their children's safety. Also noted is a striking lack of research on the prevention of IPV perpetration in males, particularly fathers. Even the current IPV research that focuses on interventions with males, notes the absence of interventions specifically designed for fathers and calls for both a better understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to male violence and a focus on interventions tailored to preparing men for the challenges of fatherhood. Two such programs are described in the final section of this review.Keywords: intimate partner, domestic violence, domestic abuse, prevention, childbearing, pregnancy, parenthood, transition to parenthood, father, fatherhood, paternal Teila Sinnott, MA is working for the Government of Alberta as a policy analyst as part of a policy internship program.

The personal impacts of witnessing IPV also come with enormous economic costs to society: costs for the provision of medical care, criminal justice, and other social services, and costs incurred through the loss of productivity in education and the workplace (Andresen & Linning, 2014). Estimates that put the rate of IPV exposure at 125,000 new children in Canada each year approximate a yearly economic expense of $759 million for a single cohort of children (Andresen & Linning, 2014). New costs of course are not "freestanding" and are added each year to the already accumulated lifelong costs of all previous new cases. With $759 million as the benchmark for each new cohort and the cumulative continuing costs over a ten-year period for the ten cohorts ...
